Central overexpression of leptin antagonist reduces wheel running and underscores importance of endogenous leptin receptor activity in energy homeostasis

We used recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV)-mediated gene delivery to overexpress a mutant of rat leptin yielding a protein that acts as a neutral leptin receptor antagonist. The long-term consequences of this overexpression on body weight homeostasis and physical activity, as assessed by volu...
